One of the stranger songs that Meredith Wilson wrote was called CHICKEN FAT. It was recorded by Robert Preston

Sounds like it's something that was written for (and cut from) THE MUSIC MAN.

No idea what I'm going to watch this weekend.

Good morning, all.

I almost typed "moroning" there.

Oy. I didn't misbehave last night, but I did stay up very late. More coffee!

I'm going to have to listen to "Moon in My Window" later. I think that's my favorite of his melodies.

Ketchuping on late posts from last night:

DR Dear Lurker Iris, and BK, awakened some more nice memories of Westworld. I had forgotten there was an Old World there, which is absolutely crazy because I probably ate at that one many times. That, and the one on the Sunset Strip, and -- it seems like there was at least one other. Beverly Hills? I know where the Strip one was, but I need help on where the Westwood and any others were located.

And what was the "signature" burger there? I always had it. The one with diced onions and spices and herbs and whatnot mixed into the ground beef. I'm sure I enjoyed many other things there, too, but --

THE SWINGER PATTY!!

EDIT: Answering my own question, the B.H. one was at 216 N. Beverly Drive. Oh, this is interesting. Bon Appetit, which I loved going to on lunch hours, was at 316, and Nate-n-Al's is at 416. Don't you love old telephone directories?? But 216 puts Old World into the first block north of Wilshire, and I'm not remembering its appearance there. Hmmmm...

Thank you so much for the heads up on Richard Rodgers' birthday. I'll make sure everyone is aware of that at the show tonight.

DR DL Iris also asked about "The Great American Food and Beverage Company".

YES! But not in Santa Monica. The jernt on the SW corner of La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd. was one of those for a while. I can only remember being there once. It was a fun place.

As I have always recalled it, their "thing" was "hot pockets" -- all manner of sandwich stuffings served in pita. Does this agree with what anyone else remembers?

An adjunct to that memory is Record Surplus (I think -- it might have been some other record store) being located at that time (late '70s) across the road on the north side of Santa Monica Blvd. At some point this same store (I think) moved to Westwood into a building behind the Village Theater. If this was indeed Record Surplus, then I guess it wasn't long after that they finally located in their long-running store on Pico.

I'm awake. Pulling things together to leave in 45 minutes or so. This going on vacation thing and having to take nice clothes is a bore.

I have a lot on the DVR from this week but likely won't get much of an opportunity to watch anything as I will be spending Saturday and Sunday volunteering at Salem's annual World Beat festival.

I will be at the tent for the India-US Friendship organization. The theme at our booth will be Bollywood! Some of my Hindi film posters will be on display and there will be a constant stream of Bollywood movies and or song picturizations running on the tv in the booth!

It's the 100th anniversary year of the premier of Igor Stravinsky's ballet, Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring), and there are two new CD box sets out - one with 10 "historically significant" recordings, and one with 38.

I love the score, but even I would not want to listen to it 38 times in a row.
